David Ryan (forthcoming)
In Alligator, David Ryan’s experiments in language and form produce 23 stark, lyrical stories that explore the human condition. Kaleidoscopic, surprising, and occasionally shocking, Ryan’s liminal realism shifts between incantatory parables and a hard-scrabble, fractured reality, rooted in the deep, visceral logic of memory, wild impulse, and dream. Alligator’s stories collect desire, dislocation of family, love, and estrangement into a brutalist architecture—where occasional sharp eruptions of chaos co-exist with hope and grace.
